"Brother Han, you've emerged from seclusion."

Zi Ling walked up to Han Li, her clear and melodious voice ringing out, her tone very gentle.

For the past six months, whenever she had free time, Zi Ling would come to Liuyun Pavilion to ask Han Li if he needed any help.

The two became increasingly familiar with each other.

After a while, they changed their address.

"Ziling, if there is anything urgent, you can go directly to Liuyun Pavilion. There is no need to wait here."

Han Li looked at Zi Ling and said calmly.

During this time, the woman in front of me has become noticeably more cheerful, and she smiles more often.

The pressure seems to have eased a lot.

This is something Han Li is happy to see.

"Brother Han is focused on his cultivation, how could Zi Ling dare to disturb him?"

Zi Ling smiled slightly, looking at Han Li's face, her purple eyes filled with a calm joy.

For decades, she has been navigating a delicate balance of power, constantly scheming and maneuvering.

But when she was with Han Li, she always felt a sense of security.

"Brother Han, Zi Ling has come here today for the matter of escorting the ship."

Zi Ling parted her red lips slightly, paused, and continued speaking.

"Brother Han is traveling with Zhao Zheng this time, ostensibly to escort merchant ships, but actually to take down the Fallen Dragon Gang."

"Luo Tianba, the leader of the Fallen Dragon Gang, seemed to have only the cultivation level of the early stage of Core Formation, but he killed a cultivator of the same level with the help of a secret technique when he just formed his core."

"They are indeed not easy to deal with."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Ling's expression turned slightly solemn.

"I've heard of this before, but what kind of secret technique is it that allows one to kill someone of the same level without using any magical artifacts?"

Han Li rested his chin on his right hand, walked to the stream, and pondered.

"According to intelligence from within the sect, the so-called secret technique used by Luo Tianba is very likely a powerful formation. Even a Core Formation cultivator would likely find it difficult to escape once trapped inside!"

"The Core Formation cultivators who were killed back then were probably killed because they accidentally fell into the formation."

Zi Ling walked to Han Li's side and slowly spoke.

The reflections of the two figures, one in green and one in purple, stood side by side in the stream.

"Formation?"

Han Li murmured.

He is also quite skilled in the art of formations.

There are several formations in the notes given by Shi Kun that can kill Core Formation cultivators.

For example, the Ice Flame Burning Heaven Formation he learned before!

Even so, Han Li did not underestimate Luo Tianba.

It's always good to be cautious.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

After a moment of silence, Han Li spoke slowly.

"Brother Han, please be extremely cautious on this trip. If things go wrong, flee immediately."

"If Brother Han encounters misfortune, then what about Zi Ling..."

Zi Ling's clear and melodious voice rang out again. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her purple eyes looked at Han Li with concern in them.

"What will happen?"

Han Li looked at Zi Ling, a thought struck him, and asked.

Looking at Han Li's smile, Zi Ling suddenly realized that what she had just said might have been a bit too much...

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Cough cough."

"By the way, Ziling, there's something I need your help with."

Han Li coughed and changed the subject.

"Brother Han, you flatter me. I haven't even finished repaying the life-saving grace from back then. Now that you are an elder of our sect, it is only right and proper for me to do more for you."

The pink blush on Zi Ling's cheeks faded, and she spoke softly.

"What is it?"

Han Li didn't speak. He reached into his storage pouch at his waist and a jade slip appeared in his hand.

Then it was handed over.

The jade slip recorded the spiritual objects and medicinal herbs he needed to refine magical treasures and cultivate.

"Ten-thousand-year-old Mysterious Ice Marrow, a thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood, Geng Metal, Gui Water, and the Earth of Heaven..."

Zi Ling's divine sense entered the jade slip, and as she looked at its contents, her tone was full of surprise.

A moment later, Zi Ling browsed through the materials in the jade slip.

Then, he looked at Han Li, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Brother Han, the materials you need are all extremely rare. Some of them are even completely unheard of by Zi Ling."

"Even those auxiliary materials are rare treasures."

Upon hearing this, Han Li also gave a bitter smile.

Is that really the case?

"However, there are also many materials and spiritual herbs among them that Zi Ling has heard of before."

"I will definitely keep this in mind from now on, and if I come across it again, I will naturally buy it for Brother Han."

Zi Ling added.

"Those spiritual herbs and trees, even if they are in their infancy, are fine, as long as they can continue to grow."

Han Li pondered for a moment and then spoke.

With the little green bottle, any spiritual herbs or trees can be cultivated indefinitely once you have one.

Can it continue to grow?

Zi Ling looked at Han Li, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

But she didn't press further; instead, she simply nodded.

"In that case, it's about time, and the escort mission is imminent, so I'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li transformed into a streak of jade-white light and disappeared from the spot.

Zi Ling looked at the horizon without saying much, but her hand, which was tightly gripping the jade pendant, turned slightly white.

......

Miaoyin Gate, front hall.

Zhao Zheng had been standing in front of the hall for quite a while.

Beside her stood a shapely, mature, and charming young woman.

It was Fan Jingmei.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

Zhao Zheng felt a little anxious as Han Li was not arriving for a long time.

Just then, a streak of jade-white light flashed across the horizon.

A figure in a blue robe slowly appeared before the two, followed by a soft voice:

"Gentlemen, I am not late, am I?"

The two were slightly taken aback when they saw Han Li appear.

"Haha, Elder Han, it's been half a year, and your cultivation has improved again! Congratulations!"

Zhao Zheng smiled and subtly observed Han Li.

The Han Li before them exuded a calm and restrained aura, and his body shone with a precious light, clearly indicating that he had already refined his natal magic weapon!

Six months ago, Zhao Zheng promised Han Li time, but it was just a casual remark.

The crafting of one's natal magic weapon is quite time-consuming; if the collection of materials is included, it can even take several years.

There was once a Core Formation cultivator who spent years searching for spiritual materials in order to refine a top-tier magic weapon. However, during one of his searches, he was ambushed and killed!

What a pity!

Doesn't Han Li need to collect spiritual materials?

How could it be successfully refined in just half a year!

It's likely that they produced some kind of junk.

As for Elder Xinggong giving Han Li materials, it's impossible even for a fool.

"Elder Zhao, you flatter me. My meager skills are nowhere near comparable to yours."

Han Li grinned and flattered Zhao Zheng.

"Now that Elder Han has arrived, let's go."

"Left Envoy Fan, you must pay close attention to the affairs of the sect."

"Yes, ma'am."

Fan Jingmei bowed deeply, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white chest.

When she looked up again.

Zhao Zheng and Han Li were nowhere to be seen.

Only two streaks of light, one white and one gold, remained on the horizon.

"I wonder when I'll reach the Core Formation stage..."

Fan Jingmei looked at the Core Formation light in the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with envy.

For someone of average talent like her, achieving the Core Formation stage was extremely difficult.

"Why......."
